- End margin — Required
Bike storage rack width
Enter the measurements above to calculate bike storage rack width.
How the calculation works
The engine follows this rule: spacing=max(0,handlebarWidth-staggerReduction); totalWidth=handlebarWidth+(bikes-1)×spacing+2×endMargin. It returns bike storage rack width from the configured inputs.
Worked example
Example: Bikes = 2; Maximum handlebar width = 60 cm; Width saved by alternating height = 20 cm; End margin = 5 cm. Result: Total Width = 110 cm; Spacing = 40 cm.
